Notice of Opportunity to Comment on Default Orders of Administrative Enforcement Actions

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) staff is providing an opportunity for written public comment on the listed Default Orders (DOs). The commission staff proposes a DO when the staff has sent an executive director's preliminary report and petition (EDPRP) to an entity outlining the alleged violations; the proposed penalty; and the proposed technical requirements necessary to bring the entity back into compliance; and the entity fails to request a hearing on the matter within 20 days of its receipt of the EDPRP or requests a hearing and fails to participate at the hearing. Similar to the procedure followed with respect to Agreed Orders entered into by the executive director of the commission, in accordance with Texas Water Code (TWC), §7.075 this notice of the proposed order and the opportunity to comment is published in the Texas Register no later than the 30th day before the date on which the public comment period closes, which in this case is July 28, 2008. The commission will consider any written comments received and the commission may withdraw or withhold approval of a DO if a comment discloses facts or considerations that indicate that consent to the proposed DO is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the statutes and rules within the commission's jurisdiction, or the commission's orders and permits issued in accordance with the commission's regulatory authority. Additional notice of changes to a proposed DO is not required to be published if those changes are made in response to written comments.

A copy of each proposed DO is available for public inspection at both the commission's central office, located at 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building A, 3rd Floor, Austin, Texas 78753, (512) 239-3400 and at the applicable regional office listed as follows.

Correction of Error

The Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation proposed amendments to 28 TAC §134.402, concerning Ambulatory Surgical Center Fee Guideline, for publication in the June 13, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 4614).

The preamble to the proposed amendment contains the following errors as submitted by the Division.

On page 4618, right column, 4th paragraph, last sentence, the word "employee's" should be plural to read "employees'."

The sentence should read as follows: "This concept is replicated in the proposed amended ASC reimbursement methodologies to assure that costs of implantable devices are not a barrier to injured employees' access to services in an ASC facility setting."

On page 4621, right column, 2nd paragraph, last sentence, the word "with" was left out of the first part of the sentence.

The sentence should read as follows: "Therefore, even though ASC facility reimbursement rates are proposed to be increased, with the relatively small ASC volume combined with possible net savings from relocation of services to the less costly ASC setting, it is unlikely that premium costs will be negatively impacted in any significant amount."

North Central Texas Council of Governments

Request for Proposals to Conduct the Fort Worth Transportation Authority and Denton County Transportation Authority On-Board Transit Survey

This request by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for consultant services is filed under the provisions of Government Code, Chapter 2254.

The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is requesting written proposals from consultant firm(s) to conduct the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (FWTA) and Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) On-Board Transit Survey. The purpose of the survey is to provide updated commuter travel information to NCTCOG's Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Travel Model (DFWRTM). The DFWRTM is the travel demand model for the Dallas-Fort Worth area which is responsible for making transit forecasts based on travel demand patterns identified in this survey. This data collection effort is one of many steps in NCTCOG's efforts to update the data for the DFWRTM. Having recent commuter information is necessary when transit agencies evaluate potential projects and make applications for New Starts funding to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The FTA has a very competitive national comparative process for transit projects. It is expected that the consultant team will collect this data to comply with the latest FTA guidelines for conducting transit surveys. Innovative approaches in data collection, expansions, coding, and analyses are encouraged.

Due Date

Proposals must be received no later than 5 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on Friday, July 25, 2008 to Kathy Yu, Senior Transportation System Modeler, North Central Texas Council of Governments, 616 Six Flags Drive, Arlington, Texas 76011 or P.O. Box 5888, Arlington, Texas 76005-5888. For copies of the RFP, contact Therese Bergeon, at (817) 695-9267.

Contract Award Procedures

The firm or individual selected to perform these activities will be recommended by a Consultant Selection Committee (CSC). The CSC will use evaluation criteria and methodology consistent with the scope of services contained in the Request for Proposals. The NCTCOG Executive Board will review the CSC's recommendations and, if found acceptable, will issue a contract award.

Regulations

NCTCOG, in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 78 Statute 252, 41 United States Code 2000d to 2000d-4; and Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Department of Transportation, Subtitle A, Office of the Secretary, Part 1, Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of the Department of Transportation issued pursuant to such act, hereby notifies all proposers that it will affirmatively assure that in regard to any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement, disadvantaged business enterprises will be afforded full opportunity to submit proposals in response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, sex, age, national origin, or disability in consideration of an award.

Notice of Implementation of Database Relating to Temporary Cardboard Tags on Vehicles

The Texas Department of Transportation adopted rules on March 27, 2008 (see April 11, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 2964)) relating to temporary cardboard tags pursuant to Article 8 of Senate Bill 11 and Senate Bill 1786, 80th Legislature, Regular Session, 2007. The bills require the department to create and maintain databases that allow for real time access to owner information on recently sold vehicles or vehicles operated under other temporary tags. The system must be capable of generating a vehicle-specific number for the issuance of dealer, buyer's, and converter temporary tags.

Adopted rule 43 TAC §8.153 requires dealers and converters to begin using the new tags on the date that the database system is made generally available for use by the department. Section 8.153 further indicates that the department will provide dealers access to the database for review at least 60 days before the requirement to use the system for the issuance of temporary tags. The section requires the department to notify dealers through the Texas Register of the dates that the system is available for review and the date that all dealers must begin to use the new system.

The system is currently available for review. To access the system, dealers must register their email addresses with the department and receive a password. The department sent a letter to all dealers on May 8, 2008, providing a control number with which to register their email addresses. Dealers who have not registered their email addresses can not receive credentials authorizing database access until the registration is complete.

Dealers who have not received the letter with a control number for each license number held should email the Motor Vehicle Division Help Desk at: MVD_Contact@dot.state.tx.us. The subject line of the email should be "No Control Number Received." Dealers should provide their business name and license number as well as pertinent contact information in the body of the email.

Compliance with the new temporary tag database will be mandatory on September 1, 2008.

Additional information regarding e-Tags and the new temporary tag rules can be found on the www.txdot.gov website. Click on "Vehicle Dealer Services" under the Business column to access the Motor Vehicle Division homepage for more information on e-Tags.
